The rapid development of social media has transformed digital crime patterns, enabling financial fraud, exploitation, and radicalization to spread more efficiently. In Indonesia, cybercrime cases have increased by 60% over the past five years, yet law enforcement remains ineffective due to the complexity of digital crime and limited regulatory enforcement. This study aims to analyze how social media facilitates cybercrime, the evolving modus operandi of criminals, and the effectiveness of existing legal frameworks. This research employs a netnographic approach, combining qualitative content analysis of online interactions with secondary data from law enforcement reports. Findings indicate that digital fraud cases have risen by 85% in the past three years, with cryptocurrency-related scams causing losses of IDR 5.2 trillion. Cyberbullying and defamation cases have surged by 60% since 2018, while only 22% of reported cybercrimes have been legally processed, with a conviction rate of just 6%. These figures highlight significant gaps in digital forensic capabilities and cross-sector collaboration. This study contributes to understanding the role of social media in shaping cybercrime and provides policy recommendations to enhance crime prevention strategies. Strengthening legal frameworks, improving law enforcement technology, and fostering cooperation between stakeholders are essential to addressing cybercrime in the digital era. Future research should focus on comparative legal studies and the role of artificial intelligence in cybercrime detection

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought significant transformations across various sectors, including the judicial system. Countries such as China and the United States have adopted AI in legal decision-making, whereas Indonesia remains in the early stages of implementing this technology. While AI has the potential to enhance judicial efficiency, challenges related to regulation, transparency, and algorithmic bias raise concerns regarding the accuracy and fairness of legal rulings. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of AI utilization in Indonesia’s judicial system, identify key challenges, and propose policy recommendations. This research employs both normative and empirical approaches by examining AI-related regulations and conducting interviews with judges and technology experts in Indonesia. The findings indicate that 65% of judges in Indonesia remain skeptical about AI's role in legal decision-making. In contrast, in countries like China, AI adoption in the judiciary has improved case resolution efficiency by 30–40%. Additionally, a public survey reveals that while 55% of respondents believe AI can enhance the objectivity of legal rulings, 45% remain concerned about potential algorithmic bias. Furthermore, the study highlights that Indonesia lacks specific regulations governing AI in the legal system, which may hinder the widespread adoption of this technology. This research contributes to understanding the readiness of Indonesia’s judicial system in integrating AI and emphasizes the necessity of clear regulations and robust oversight mechanisms to ensure transparency and accountability. The findings are expected to serve as a foundation for policymakers in formulating comprehensive regulations to optimize AI implementation in the Indonesian judicial system
